1 cup Unsalted butter — cut into
1/3 cup Strong brewed coffee
4 large Eggs — at room temp
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Flour
8 ounces Walnuts — chopped

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375~. Line a 9×13″
baking pan with a doule thickness of aluminum foil so that the line foil

into 16 rectangles.
